them by giving again and again. The Missionary Faith Promise
Form is a convenient way to make a commitment to your
desired missionary or ministry. Once we obtain your form, an
information packet and certificate will be mailed to you. The
Missionary Faith Promise Form can be found at our Web site at usmissions.ag.org or give online at giving.ag.org.

Can I give stocks?

A charitable gift of stock offers an opportunity for tax savings while generously sharing it with missionaries. A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation.

Can I include a missionary in my will?

One of the best ways to create a lasting legacy is by including charitable bequests in your will. When making this type of
contribution, many factors influence your decision such as your assets, family concerns, and other interests. Here are a few
approaches you can apply when using your will to donate to U.S. Missions.

GIVE A SPECIFIC AMOUNT
Naming a specific amount in your will can ensure the
donation will be put to missionary use. By regularly
updating your assets, you can be certain the accurate
amount will be given.

GIVE A SPECIFIC PROPERTY
If you know a missionary needs a particular item or asset,
you can designate that property to them in your will. To be
certain the object will be put to good use, check with the
recipient.

GIVE A PERCENTAGE
To establish a distinction between charitable and non-charitable
beneficiaries, think about designating a
percentage of assets in your will to U.S. Missions. Using this
method automatically adjusts the particular amount as
your estate fluctuates.

ALL OR PART OF “WHAT IS LEFT”
Family and loved ones should always come first when
choosing recipients in your will. If you are uncomfortable
bequeathing a specific amount, property, or percentage,
consider a gift from the residual or “what is left” of your
assets after providing for your loved ones.

What if my employer does matching gifts?

Make your gift dollars go even further through your employer’s
matching gift program. Thousands of companies have matching gift
programs which double or even triple individual contributions made
by employees and retirees to nonprofit organizations.

SIGN UP
Ask your employer if they have a matching gift program. If so, obtain
a matching gift form from your Human Resources department, fill it
out completely, and send it along with your contribution to:
